History Recap / GleeS3E20Props

We return to see Madame Tibideaux, as some poor unfortunate soul is unlucky enough to perform in front of her. After his dismissal, Rachtina approaches; unfortunately for Rachel, after 14 messages, the Madame has had enough of her and it goes as well as you'd expect. From there, we cut to Beiste and [=CtR=] and it seems Puck's breakdown got to her, as after slamming a kitchen knife down, she finally leaves the bastard. Now this being Glee, the verbal leads to the vocal, as Puck and Beiste vent via Taylor, odd duet partners, but united in their anguish. Afterwards, Beiste reveals she got Puck another shot at the one test that's keeping him from graduating. After the break, we start the home stretch with the ND juniors making their outfits. Sugar complains about it, only for Tina to tell her doing the work will lead to the rewards. Mike then walks by, him and Tina sharing a smile as we cut to Sue and Will going over the setlist as Shannon arrives to volunteer as a chaperone, confirming she left [=CtR=]. Cut to Rachel telling Finn about Tina giving her the idea to visit the Madame. She then gets wise, saying that in a sea of kids clinging desperately to their own kind, they took the time to become more than friends. She and Tina then breakout the Irene Cara to close up for the week. What a Feeling indeed. Speaking of...

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Tina's fever dream.

* {{Jerkass}}: Cooter, to new heights in his final appearance (before never being mentioned again).

In a change, the opening rundown provides the plot of the episode; namely, that Tina has pretty much been ignored since the series started. This episode will address that, as we start with Kurtcedes in Sue's office, being chastized over Unique leading Vocal Adrenaline to their Regionals victory and thus making them ND's opponent once again. Therefore, to counterattack, Sue wants Kurt to dress in drag. Yes. Sue produces a 20's style flapper dress that we know Kurt will not wear, however he does have presidence, as we cut to Klaine as Snooki and the Situation from Jersey Shore thus in no way dating this episode in the least as we hit the TitleCard.

As Tina continues to get ignored, even in her own episode, we cut to Rachel and did you really think she was gonna let choking stop her from [=NYADA=]? Seems getting elected Prom Queen reignited her drive as we see her write in her diary that it's her destiny while we cue up the appropriate Mraz; afterwards, we see Rachel's going for the badgering route, blowing up Madame Tibideaux's voice line. From there, we cut to the choir room, where Will reveals the song lineup for Nationals. Sue, after some insanity involving ''{{Film/Flashdance}}'', produces the TitleDrop, saying it's the best way to get props. And this causes Tina to finally up and leave, after a token attempt at affirmation by Will calling her the costume girl, she essentially calls herself a living prop. Mike tries to calm her down, only for Tina to correctly say that Rachel complaining means claiming stardom, whereas her complaining is selfishness. Glorious double standard is glorious. Mike does make a point though, in that it's the seniors' last year, while she graduates next year. Rachel, taking another tact, goes for the bribe. Smart Rachel, smart. She then offers Tina ego before Tina reveals she wants one moment to be her. Funny you mention that... Cut to the mall, where after we see Klaine get their massage on, we cut to Tina at full boil. Unfortunately, being at full boil sometimes means you don't watch where you're going, as we see Tina trip and bounce her head off the bottom of a fountain. Kinda brutal to watch. Klaine pull her out of the fountain... though a different kind of Klaine. Yes folks, if Tina wants to be Rachel, then she can be, while the rest of the cast becomes each other. After the break, we see Rachel!Tina being lead down the school hallway by Pinn!Klaine and let's go ahead and reveal the entire switcharoo: Finn is Kurt, Kurt is Finn, Puck is Blaine, Blaine is Puck, Quinn is Sugar, Sugar is Quinn, Santana is Artie, Artie is Santana, Mercedes is Brittany, Brittany is Mercedes, Joe is Mike, Mike is Joe, Sam is Rory, Rory is Sam, Will is Sue, Sue is Will, and of course, Rachel is Tina [dressed in S1 attire to make the change more noticeable]; you can clearly tell the cast is having a ball. This all leads back to the choir room where, after some encouragement from Kurt!Finn, Tina goes into the rare Jenna solo, a bit of Celine, getting an ovation. Now, as cool as it would be to have the switch for the entire episode, it's sadly cut short as we return to reality, the actual Klaine pulling Tina out of the fountain as we go to break.

We return to see Madame Tibideux, as some poor unfortunate soul is unlucky enough to perform in front of her. After his dismissal, Rachtina approaches; unfortunately for Rachel, after 14 messages, the Madame has had enough of her and it goes as well as you'd expect. From there, we cut to Beiste and [=CtR=] and it seems Puck's breakdown got to her, as after slamming a kitchen knife down, she finally leaves the bastard. Now this being Glee, the verbal leads to the vocal, as Puck and Beiste vent via Taylor, odd duet partners, but united in their anguish. Afterwards, Beiste reveals she got Puck another shot at the one test that's keeping him from graduating. After the break, we start the home stretch with the ND juniors making their outfits.

* EntitledBitch: Well, Bastard. For some, Rachel demanding that she be given another shot at auditioning for the prestigious performing arts school NYADA despite the fact that she was allowed to audition twice before and still fluffed it up. Her pushy, constant phone calls asking for for a fourth shot, and even following the dean of the school to talk about why she deserves to go to this school doesn't exactly help either. While we're meant to root for Rachel's plight, many fans find it a wonder that she got accepted in the school by the end of season 3. Especially seeing as Kurt, who delivered a fantastic audition, didn't.

* GenderBender: In order to keep everyone sort-of in pairs (Quinn not actually dating Sam any more, but the writers had no idea what to do with her/Creator/DiannaAgron) Sue becomes Will, Will becomes Sue, Santana becomes Artie and Artie becomes Santana.

** And then {{Reconstructed|Trope}} when she, by the end of the episode, decides that she doesn't mind being back up afterall.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Bieste finally stands up to Cooter.
--> '''Cooter:''' Who's gonna love you like I loved you?
--> '''Bieste:''' Me.

Tina Cohen-Chang finally rebels against her AdvertisedExtra status in the glee club, demanding more solos from the group, a request which is denied on the basis of it being 2 weeks until nationals and there not being enough time to change the set list. Tina storms off in protest. When she hits her head against a fountain and passes out, she dreams that everyone in the glee club has [[FreakyFridayFlip swapped identities]] with another character[[note]](to elaborate, Finn is Kurt, Kurt is Finn, Puck is Blaine, Blaine is Puck, Quinn is Sugar, Sugar is Quinn, Santana is Artie, Artie is Santana, Mercedes is Brittany, Brittany is Mercedes, Joe is Mike, Mike is Joe, Sam is Rory, Rory is Sam, Will is Sue, Sue is Will, and of course, Rachel is Tina [dressed in S1 attire to make the change more noticeable].)[[/note]], and that she is [[SpotlightStealingSquad Rachel Berry]]. After the dream, however, she decides that she doesn't mind being a team-player all that much, though.

Meanwhile, Beiste eventually leaves hir abusive husband Cooter for good, Rachel tries convincing NYADA to give her another chance after fluffing up her audition and Puck deals with his abandonment issues regarding his father.

* CallForward: Rick calls Puck's aimless Season 4 character (who dates Kitty) by saying he'll be that guy hanging out in front of the 7-11 picking up high school girls. Also HarsherInHindsight given Mark Salling's later legal trouble.

* AttractiveBentGender : While Puck in a dress is, to Sue, the "ugliest woman I've ever seen," Santana is strangely turned on.
